About
The Blackitude Museum, also known as the Musée de la Blackitude, is a cultural museum in Yaoundé, the capital of Cameroon. It is located on Rue 1750 in the Nlongkak district, in the Central Africa region.
The museum is dedicated to African heritage and to the concept of Blackitude, a term associated with the affirmation of Black identity and culture. Its collection is built around African art and cultural expressions, so a visit offers a way to look at the continent's creative traditions and the ideas that inform them.
What a visit offers
- A focused look at African art and cultural expression, rather than a broad survey of world cultures
- A chance to think about Blackitude as an idea of identity and heritage, not only as a set of objects
- A cultural stop that suits visitors interested in art, history and cultural life in Cameroon
